I have found what happens when you take a piece of my soul and write it to a cd; you get a song by a band called Zao called Cancer Breath. It is off an eerily titled and designed 'The Fear is what keeps us here'.
As I tried with my best effort, words were simply not enough for what I wanted to convey about this opening track.
And a little life lesson has certainly imprinted upon: Because I think the writing ethics of a band will blow does not mean they cannot turn out good music.
I had previously conveyed with my bassist that the band Zao was for the most part, dissapointing. The album Funeral of God could best be described as underwhelming with brief rays of sunshine. The highlight, the second track 'The Rising End', fucking rocks. It is a bad ass prog/metal sounding opus to the end of the world. Killing music if there were any. Evil sounging. The rest of the album simply underwhelmed. To me nothing touched the majesty of the second track, but little bits of breakdowns and some vocal lines. But the singer for that album simply did not sit with me; it was rather irritating.
The follow up to this album, 'The Fear Is What Keeps Us Here' is The rising end thought process developed into an album. At some points frantic & chaotic, at others serene, but always very eery and 'evil'. It's truly music for destruction, something I"d put on an ipod if I went to a shooting range. Driving beats, diverse signatures, the album has impressed heavily upon me.
And here's the kicker, I'm really only talking about the first half of the album.
I will conclude listening likely tonight, and may entirely recant this statement. But for Thursday, it will do nicely.
